Flickr Twitter YouTube Hotmail Blocked in China Country
Due to political conflict, the democracy protest in China, huge number of website webpages are inaccessible and completely blocked in China. The issue has effected the Internet lifestyle of China country and people in china are able to access only content sites as of now. Last week, the Chinese authorities blocked almost all well known websites in the evening that can revolutionize people’s mind.
Sites Blocked in China
- Twitter.com – A popular microblogging tool quite well known in China.
- Flickr.com – Yahoo’s popular image sharing portal.
- Youtube.com – Google’s video product streaming million’s of videos.
- Hotmail and Msn are blocked.

The news spread across in the Chinese main stream media about strange website blocking. But some more website like blogger and china proxy sites are blocked and unblocked frequently. And starting from the next month, each computer sold in china will be having firewall+antivirus software installed along with Internet protection to avoid accessing of any adult websites!
